I was told the British navy thought these were only river boats. The seamanship of these fishermen and their boats can only be exceptional. Thanks for posting video.
I assure you these are purpose built boats for the conditions and not "River boats". Round hulled well boats that have stood the test of time and purpose. They do roll alot but carry a mast to counter that and soften the roll. Take a look at www.tasrocklobster.com for more info and gallery of boat construction.
